What owners wrote
On june 28,2014 while driving down houston tx beltway. I was involved in an accident where my car hit a cement guard rail and brakes fail as well as no airbags deployed.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 chevrolet impala. When making a left turn, the ABS, traction control, service brake assist, service traction control, and service stabilitrak indicators illuminated. In addition, an abnormal grinding sound was heard. Once the vehicle was shut off and restarted, all of the messages and warning indicators turned off. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the speed control sensor in the front driver's side wheel bearing was faulty.
